    Abstract There are a number of cutting-edge techniques implemented in the germination process, including high pressure processing, ultrasonic, ultraviolet, light, non-thermal plasma, magnetic field, microwave radiation, electrolyzed oxidizing water, and plasma activated water. The influence of these technological advances on seed germination procedure is addressed in this review. The use of these technologies has several benefits, including the enhancement of plant growth rate and the modulation of bioactive chemicals like ABA, protein, and peroxidase concentrations, as well as the suppression of microbial development. Microgreens' positive health effects, such as their antioxidant, anticancer, antiproliferative/pro-oxidant, anti-obesity, and anti-inflammatory properties are extensively reviewed. The phytochemical and bioactive components of microgreens were investigated, including the concentrations of vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin E, micro and macro nutrients, pro-vitamin A, polyphenols, and glucosinolates. Furthermore, the potential commercial uses of microgreens, as well as the current market transformation and prospects for the future are explored.

    Abstract The choice of an appropriate packaging materials enhances the shelf life and improves quality of food during transportation, storage, and distribution. Development and innovations in food packaging systems have become essential in the food industry. Most widely used packaging materials are non-biodegradable plastics and are harmful to environment and human health. Thus, food industry is replacing non-biodegradable plastics with biodegradable plastics to reduce environmental pollution, health hazards, and food waste. Edible packaging may reduce food waste and keep perishables fresh. This review article compares edible packaging materials to synthetic ones and discusses their pollution-reducing effects. The several types of food packaging discussed in the review include those produced from polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, and composite films. The various characteristics of edible packaging are reviewed, including its barrier qualities, carrier properties, mechanical capabilities, and edibility. The carrier properties describe the capacity to transport and manage the release of active substances, and the edibility indicates acceptance of these items by the customers. Plasticizers, antimicrobials, antioxidants, and emulsifiers were included in the edible packaging to enhance the characteristics of the film. The development and implementation of edible packaging on food products from the laboratory to large-scale industrial levels, as well as their potential industrial applications in the dairy, meat, confectionary, poultry, fish, fruit, and vegetable processing sectors are addressed.

    Abstract The present investigation studied the influence of ultrasonication power (XUp), microwave power (XMp), and vacuum level (XVl) on the quality attributes of dried persimmon fruit. The range of independent variables selected for the study was 100–200 W for XUp, 400–800 W for microwave power and 380–680 mmHg of vacuum level. The best artificial neural network with the lowest relative deviation comprised three input neurons, nine hidden neurons, and four output neurons. According to the experimental design, the range of response rehydration ratio YRR, total change in color YΔE, drying efficiency (YDE), and antioxidant activity YAA was found to be 1.524%–2.148, 8.933%–28.854, 33.603%–42.155% and 68.640%–87.809% respectively. The optimized condition according to the integrated ANN‐GA model for the process parameters XUp, XMp, and XVl was found to be 106.227 W, 421.189 W, and 668.051 mmHg, respectively. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Persimmon is a perishable fruit with a short shelf life. Fruits necessitate preservation strategies to extend their shelf life by reducing moisture content and water activity. Microwave vacuum drying with ultrasound treatment preserves quality characteristics like color, texture, chemical components, and shrinkage while reducing moisture content. Ultrasound pretreated microwave vacuum drying process lowered drying time while improving the quality and efficiency of dried persimmon fruit. Moisture can rapidly diffuse into the surrounding vacuum and prevent structure collapse due to the high vapor pressure caused by microwave vacuum drying. Prior to drying, sonication alters the structure of the fruit tissue, significantly accelerates the drying process and reduces overall processing time.

    Abstract Large cardamom is a high‐value, low‐volume cash crop that is commercially important. The evaluation and selection of suppliers is a complicated and common multi‐criteria decision‐making challenge. Supplier selection becomes more difficult and unpredictable as a result of the necessity for human judgment in many areas of supplier selection, such as preferences for alternatives or supplier qualities. The objective of the study was to evaluate various large cardamom supply chains based on various supply chain quality parameters. The proposed selection strategy used fuzzy logic to identify the best acceptable supplier as well as rank the various supply chain parameters. The major steps of supply chain evaluation by fuzzy modeling involve the calculation of triplets for the score of various supply chains, calculation of triplets for the score of supply chain quality attributes, and calculation of overall membership function on a standard fuzzy scale. The results revealed that the proposed fuzzy logic method was well suited as a decision‐making tool for supplier evaluation. The assessment of various supply chains showed that the best supply chain management method included material moving from producers to consumers through aggregators, commission agents, wholesalers, and retailers. Comparing the overall similarity values of each chosen supply chain, customer satisfaction was ranked top among the quality attributes of the supply chain, followed by external and internal support, internal performance, and strategic and operational coordination. Consumers monitoring the performance of the supply chain can assist in information acquisition, influence the behavior of supply chain participants, and enhance overall performance. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Selecting a suitable large cardamom supply chain would provide a solution for regulating the flow of products and information across the supply chain network. Implementing fuzzy logic for preferred supplier selection has a significant impact on the financial perspective. In the fuzzy logic for a large cardamom supply chain, fuzzy sets or membership functions were employed to express input space to output space. Fuzzification was used to transform a vector of crisp input data acquired from a study of a large cardamom supply chain into a vector of equivalent input language variables. The fuzzy output variables are defuzzified in the defuzzification process, and the fuzzy variables are turned into crisp values or crisp output vectors.

    Abstract Piper betel contains phytochemicals with diverse pharmacological effects. The objective of this study was to enhance the extraction efficiency of phytochemicals and the chlorophyll content using ultrasonication. The Box-Behnken design was employed to optimize the time (10, 20, 30 min), temperature (20, 30, and 40 °C), and solid-solvent ratio (1:10, 1:20, 1:30) by utilizing response surface methods with three independent variables. Multiple parameters, including extract yield, total phenol, total flavonoid, antioxidant activity, and chlorophyll content were used to optimize the conditions. The linear relationship between power intensity and responses was determined to be statistically significant, with a p-value less than 0.01. The interaction effect of temperature, time, and ratio of solid solvent was shown to be statistically significant (p < 0.05) for all the obtained results. The optimal parameters for achieving the highest extract yield were as follows: a temperature of 40 °C, a sonication time of 30 min, and a solid solvent ratio of 1:10. These conditions result in an extract yield of 21.99 %, a total flavonoid content of 44.97 mg/GAE, a total phenolic content of 185.05 mg/GAE, a DPPH scavenging activity of 99.1 %, and a chlorophyll content of 49.95 mg/ml. This study highlights the significance of customized extraction methodologies for optimizing the bioactive capacity of phytochemicals derived from betel leaves. The elucidation of extraction parameters and the resultant phytochemical profiles serves as a fundamental framework for the advancement of innovative pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, capitalizing on the therapeutic attributes of this traditional medicinal botanical.

    Abstract Microbial cellulose is a fermented form of very pure cellulose with a fibrous structure. The media rich in glucose or other carbon sources are fermented by bacteria to produce microbial cellulose. The bacteria use the carbon to produce cellulose, which grows as a dense, gel-like mat on the surface of the medium. The product was then collected, cleaned, and reused in various ways. The properties of microbial cellulose, such as water holding capacity, gas permeability, and ability to form a flexible, transparent film make it intriguing for food applications. Non-digestible microbial cellulose has been shown to improve digestive health and may have further advantages. It is also very absorbent, making it a great option for use in wound dressings. The review discusses the generation of microbial cellulose and several potential applications of microbial cellulose in fields including pharmacy, biology, materials research, and the food industry.

    Abstract This study has summarized the energy and exergy analyses of flat plate collector solar dryer. The study involves a fundamental method for the design of the solar collector based on minimum entropy generation number (Ns) and mass flow number (M). The optimal performance parameters of the solar collector were determined using thermodynamic optimization procedure. Black cardamom was dried in the solar dryer at the drying air temperature range of 26–62°C. The amount of useful energy varied between 0.07 and 0.63 kW based on the degree of solar insolation. Subsequently, it was observed that the useful energy accumulated by the solar dryer was sufficient to dry black cardamom samples to 8.2% moisture content from an initial moisture content of 80.6%. The range of energy utilization values inside the cabinet was between 7.53 and 74.61 W for a period of 24 hr. It was observed that the energy utilization ratio (EUR) varied from 22.12–80.73%, 22.62–97.71%, and 14.25–77.81%, respectively, for the three consecutive days. The increase in the inlet air temperature led to an increase in the EUR values. Furthermore, during the drying studies, the exergy efficiency of the drying chamber was ranged from 31.19% to 93.28%, with an average of 72.08%. The developed solar dryer incorporates a free energy source, sustainability, increased drying capacity, and the creation of high‐quality products. This dryer can be promoted as beneficial and sustainable equipment for drying agro products by small and marginal farmers. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Free energy sources and sustainability are the benefits of this solar dryer system. Agricultural producers are considering the use of renewable energy, such as solar energy, in the drying of agricultural goods. The design of the solar collector was based on the minimum entropy generation number. In this study, a dynamic model was provided in which the kinetics of moisture reduction are calculated based on the quantity of solar energy received in the collector and the temperature fluctuation in the collector. The exergy input and exergy loss of the dryer are affected by solar radiation. The quantity of energy received and consumed is included in the energy analysis.

    Abstract An indirect-type forced convection solar dryer implementing a phase-changing material (PCM) as the energy-storing medium was designed, fabricated, and investigated in this study. The effects of changing the mass flow rate on the valuable energy and thermal efficiencies were studied. The experimental results showed that the instantaneous and daily efficiencies of the indirect solar dryer (ISD) increased with the initial increase in mass flow rate, beyond which the change is not prominent both with and without using the PCM. The system consisted of a solar energy accumulator (solar air collector with a PCM cavity), a drying compartment, and a blower. The charging and discharging characteristics of the thermal energy storage unit were evaluated experimentally. It was found that after using PCM, drying air temperature was higher than ambient air temperature by 9-12 ℃ after sunset for 4 h. Using PCM accelerated the process by which Cymbopogon citratus was effectively dried between 42 and 59 °C of drying air. Energy and exergy analysis of the drying process was performed. The daily energy efficiency of the solar energy accumulator reached 35.8%, while the daily exergy efficiency reached 13.84%. The exergy efficiency of the drying chamber was in the range of 47-97%. A free energy source, a large reduction in drying time, a higher drying capacity, a decrease in mass losses, and improved product quality all contributed to the proposed solar dryer's high potential.

    Abstract In this study, the effect of ultrasonic pre-treatment on osmotic dehydration of kiwi slices was investigated. Kiwi fruit slices were subjected to ultrasonic pre-treatment in a sonication water bath at a frequency of 25 kHz for 20 min. Osmotic dehydration of ultrasonic pre-treated samples were conducted for a period of 300 min in 60 Brix sucrose solution. The kinetics of moisture loss and solute gain during osmotic dehydration were predicted by fitting the experimental data with Azuara's model and Weibull's model. The effects of ultrasound application on water loss, sugar gain, effective moisture diffusivity and solute diffusivity of the samples were analysed. The osmotic dehydration process showed a rapid initial water loss followed by a progressive decrease in the rates in the later stages. From the Azuara's model, the predicted equilibrium water loss value for ultrasound pre-treated sample was 58.4% (wb) at 60°C that was nearly 16% higher than the samples treated under atmospheric conditions. Fitting of Weibull model showed that the ultrasound pre-treated and untreated samples had shape parameter (βw) ranging between 0.570–0.616 and 0.677–0.723 respectively. The lower values of shape parameter indicated that sonication caused accelerated water loss resulting faster dehydration rate. Results indicated that the effective moisture diffusivity and solute diffusivity was enhanced in ultrasonic pre-treated samples. The effective moisture diffusivity during osmotic dehydration of ultrasonic pre-treated samples was ranged between 5.460×10⁻¹⁰–7.300×10⁻¹⁰ m²/s and solute diffusivity was varied between 2.925×10⁻¹⁰–3.511×10⁻¹⁰ m²/s within the temperature range 25–60 °C. The enhanced moisture and solute diffusivity in ultrasound pre-treated kiwi slices was due to cell disruption and formation of microscopic channels.

    Abstract Phalsa is a tropical and subtropical fruit that is high in nutritional value and is primarily cultivated for its fruit. As, Phalsa fruit contain high number of vitamins (A and C), minerals (calcium, phosphorus, and iron), and fibre while being low in calories and fat. The fruit and seed of Phalsa contain 18 amino acids, the majority of which are aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and leucine. Based on in vivo and in vitro studies phalsa plant possess high antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial, antidiabetic properties. However, antioxidant properties are found in the form of vitamin C, total phenolic, anthocyanin, flavonoid, and tannin. The phalsa plant's fruits and leaves have substantial anticancer action against cancer cell lines. Because of the presence of a broad range of physiologically active chemicals, investigations on phalsa plants revealed that some plant parts have radioprotective qualities. The anti-glycosidase and anti-amylase activity of aqueous fresh fruit extract was shown to be substantial. The phalsa plant contains an abundance of biologically active chemicals, allowing it to control microorganisms through a variety of processes. Phalsa methanolic leaf extract was revealed to have antimalarial and antiemetic effects. The hot and cold polysaccharide fractions extracted from the phalsa plant have potent hepatoprotective and therapeutic properties. Therefore, this review is based on the nutritional, bioactive, phytochemicals, and potential pharmacological uses of phalsa. The potential health benefits and economic potential of the phalsa berry's phytochemicals are promising areas for further study.
